For once in my life I'm speechless.
I'm too wrapped around you
Pieces blend to pictures
Photos blend to puzzles
Puzzles break and shatter
On perforated lines
Lines that break up pictures
Pictures that are pieces
Of what we are. Or used to be....
Been so too far long
Gone. And not a word to your name
Penniless in way of sentences
Poor for two cents to give
Up and up the charges go
So silence cuts the humidity.
Cupidity.
I feel it, the want and need and
Desire. Cupidity.
Not for you. Innocence is an idea
Not lost on me, not ever, nor on you.
Tight grip on childhood naive ways.
But a cupidity. Fills the air, stops my breath, steams inside the cavity
Of my long aching long awakened chest.
A fragrance I can touch,
A feeling of too much too soon
Too late to change
Too much distance.
Too far but too close
You infringe my boundaries, drawn for my beating life, even from across an ocean
Across a nation
Across a sea.
Cupidity.
The other side of the bed is lonely
My hand is colder and colder
Still no message- not for too long.
I'm tired but awake from all this dancing
Dancing around the room
The room of no space and no life
And no love, for you're so close.
Distance isn't tangible, but I can feel it
I feel it in my veins, because I hear your
Silence silence silence
Ripping and breaking and shattering
Pictures into pieces
Pieces into place
Puzzles start to form
Start to take your place...
Take it back, return it
Penniless wanderer,
Poor senseless wonder,
Squandering life on quantity,
Up and up and up and up
Hot air balloons, and roller coaster rides
Jacking up your pulse instead of me.
Cupidity to just hold you here forever
On the cold side of the bed...
Lonely like my hand, without something
Something to occupy it, like yours.
Gloves and sheets and snow and hearts
Your still fits best.
Cupidity to dissolve into you
Too wrapped up in you
Legs fade together, arms intertwined
Unfathomably tangled, your heart
Indistinguishable from mine.
Eyes closed but seeing all the same
Feeling the pulse rise and fall
Your chest beating against mine
We're pieces, pictures, framed conundrums.
We're photos that are puzzles
We're on the wrong side of right,
Too far gone to realize
Puppy love traded for cupidity.
A dangerous trade for star crossed
Star bound
Star lost...
More than, more then them.
I adore you that much,
But miss you less.
You're here somewhere.
There nowhere.
Piece us together again,
Make a photo, make a picture
Frame me and hang me.
Cupidity for you...
Intangible.
You feel it too I know
But we're star crossed
We're penniless
We're dreamers of words and lines
For lack of a better sermon
We are young, fool hearty meanderers
Follow you to the edge of the earth
Follow me to the depths of the sea
We draw the avenues to the glass
Hidden beneath it all.
It breaks under our minuscule hope
Pieces into to place.
Pieces of pictures of us
We're hopeful
Dreamers
Shattered.
Shattered but the cupidity
Will piece us together eventually.
Follow the boulevards, follow the parkways,
Follow all the roads and pavements back to me.
They're my cookie crumbs, my yellow brick road
You'll find me, clear the humid air,
Satisfy my cupidity.
Eventually.
